Item Description
The figural lamp base is solid painted plaster and depicts Cecil coming up out of the water. 10" tall to the top of Cecil's head (13" tall to the top of bulb socket). Made by the Alert Lamp Company of Ocean Park, CA. 1951. Complete w/7.5" tall stiff paper shade w/great wrap-around character illustrations of Beany, Capt. Huffenpuff, Dishonest John, Wong and Hunny Bear. © Bob Clampett and marked w/"Alert Lamp Co." name. Original power cord has never been unwrapped, but lamp does work. Lamp shade has three small areas of surface paper lift, but only to white bkg. so not too distracting. Lampshade remains clean and still displays Exc. Lamp itself is in choice, Mint condition. Lamp comes w/original cardboard tag w/color images of Beany. Edges show some aging but VF/Exc. overall. This is the only example of this tag we have seen in our 48 years. Also comes w/three 8x10" glossy promotional photos made from the originals showing store displays of these lamps. Very rare and the nicest overall we've seen.
